How do you solve the inequality #|2x+3| > |x- 4|#? Algebra Linear Inequalities and Absolute Value Absolute Value Inequalities 1 Answer Cesareo R. Feb 26, 2017 #x < -7# or #x > 1/3# Explanation: #|2x+3| > |x- 4|# supposing #x ne 4# we have #abs((2x+3)/(x-4)) > 1# or equivalently #-1 < (2x+3)/(x-4) < 1# or #-x+4 < 2x + 3->x > 1/3# or #2x+3 < x-4->x < -7# The feasible #x# are: #x < -7# or #x > 1/3# Answer link Related questions How do you solve absolute value inequalities?
